Mrs. D, I don't think HCR will change how illegals benefit or not from healthcare since kung dili emergency, dili man sad sila maka take advantage even if mapasa. Maka affect rani sa mga illegals indirectly, sama sa akong gi-ingon, ang ubang mga businesses nga willing unta motabang like the Filipino Restaurant akong gi example above, dli na nuon ka afford mo tabang kay ma apiki naman nuon tungod sa higher taxes.

Tinuod, mas daghan mga uninsured citizens kaysa number of illegals...and I bet mas daghan sad ang numero sa mga jobless citizens nga gasalig ra ug government checks. Pag apply gani nako ug SSN sauna, diha babaye nga nagyawyaw kay nadugay kuno iyang social security check, magutman kuno iyang 7 children...paluma ug panganak, gasalig ra man diay sa uban. Mao ni ang akong nakit-an nga kinadak-an jud nga disadvantage.

Daghang illegal diri nga grabe motrabaho, mas pulido pa ug mas kasaligan. Kung magkasakitay na, naa silay napundo ika-gasto sa ilang pagkasakit. You're right, kasagarang nag migrate, ma mexican man or filipino, ni anhi para maningkamot ug wala magpalibre.  Ang mga homegrown tapulan ra ang magpalami ani nga bill.

To think about it, bisan ang mga illegal motabang ug gasto  in a way..alangan man diay ug dili mosaka ang sales tax..so everytime sila mopalit ug toothpaste, sabon, shampoo at an inflated tax rate, nitabang sila ug gasto sa mga tapulan ug walay pangutok.

Bipartisan kaayo ang US, Repubs vs Demis kaayo, pero naa man sad daghan demis ni oppose aning HCR. Na skandalo pa gani tong mga 2 weeks ago man siguro nga naa underground nga pugos sa mga Dems.

Ang kindak-ang issue ani, I think is ang mahitungod sa higher taxes, ug syempre, ang discontento sa mga taw nganong gi dali2 ug pasa nga wala man gani basaha ang 900 page nga bill sa ubang congressman and senators. Bisan atong dear president wala kabasa ani tanan. Ni  admit sha as much, ni ingon pa gani sha ma covered kuno ang mga bata pero dihay gi cite adtong article akong nabasa nga dli automatically ma covered ang mga bata.

To be fair bya pud, wala nalang sila ni menor despite sa kadaghang protest. Democracy bya ni and ug na pilipinas pani, nag EDSA IV na. At least sa ato, ang atong presidente mo patuo sa mga protest. Nahitabo gud ron kay sobra ka majority and mga Dem so bisan ug unsaon ug protesta for various reasons, Pasagad sila ug pasa kay kaya man nila. Dili balance kundi party agenda.

For me, dili jud ko ganahan and my main reason is taxes. higher taxes effective immediately and 3 years pa ang benefits nga dili sad mi maka benefit.  Kaming mga gasalig sa kompanya ug insurance benefits, kuhaan mi nila ug insurance kay naa may government kuno mosagot. Pareha ra bya sad sa pilipinas, kung gobyerno na gani mokupot, maglukot2 na sa kagubot. Think USPS, sa  gi takeover na sa government, ka-bankrupton na hinuon. aguroy !

Gusto nila pareha ta ug Canada, ang mga Canadians man gani, manabok diri sa US para magpatambal para madali, nganong gusto man ta mopariha ug Canada.  Naa koy ig-agaw didto, manabok diri para mamalit ug sanina, school supplies ug uban pa kay grabe jud kuno tax...unya , kung mangasakit, motabok japon diri kay magpatambal kay dugay kuno ta jamo ma entertain, maayo pay motabok ug mobayad nalang. Nagdoble na nuon ilang gasto.

the world of medicine  is supposed to be a VOCATION and not an INDUSTRY.

What you share here comes from your heart. Maybe Americans are still skeptic but in the long run, this bill will serve everyone.

Linkback: https://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=25028.0

You do have a point.

It still doesn't change the fact that most (except ra sa mga pinoy) Canadians that my husband and I know come to the US for their medical needs mao na maka-ingon ko doble ug gasto.

My husband's family is Canadian, they moved here when he was less than a year old pero syempre, daghan pa kaayo nabilin didto sa Canada.

One of the reasons nga naghinay-hinay ug apas diri ang mga ig-agaw, lolo, auntie ug uban pa kay tungod anang heathcare. Naa gyud Uncle akong bana nga namatay nalang intawn kay wala naatiman sa HC.

Kadto imong example nga dili ka maghunahuna kung wala kay kwarta, mao to nahitabo sa Uncle sa akong bana. Kulang tawn ug kwarta para motabok diri sa US, dugay pa kaayo ang waiting period mao to namatay nalang intawn.

Kung mo ingon gud ta ug HC, maayo man gyud na siya nga concept in a utopian society.

Mo Work jud ni sha pag-maayo KUNG naa enough doctors and nurses and medical staff to take care of you....in reality, dli bya mobakasyon ang sakit, they will never be enough. Dli jud kalikayan nga naa pila. Kung huna-hunaon, talagsaon ra bya sad nang utoka nga makakaya anang trabaho-a, dli sad madalidali ug train, mao bitaw nga nang import sila sa atong mga nurse sa pilipinas. :-)

Isa pa, maayo gyud ning paagiha kung tanan jud pud motrabaho UG mohatag ug insakto. Pero ang nahitabo man gud diri sa US,ang mga ordinaryong buotan nga nagtrabaho, mao gyud apektado. Ang ,mga dato, maka afford man ug accounting team nga lusot  gyud sila sa taxes. Dugang pa, ang kusog raba kaayo mosuyop aning mga benefits kadtong walay gikatampo ug walay planong motampo.

Lagi its better to give than to receive. Very Christian. Maayo lang na kung ang imong hatagan naningkamot jud unya gikan sa imong dughan imong gihatag. Naa kay choice ba. Pero ang reality gud, wala man kay choice. Mohatag ka bisan ug nagkalisod ka, as long as makit-an nila nga gakayud ka, suyopan gihapon ka.

Dli mani sa unsa ning ako kay ako nakakit man jud ko ug unsa ka unfair ang mga grupo diri sa US. Kung ikaw manamastamas ka sa ubang race or nationality, walay paki-alam, pero suwayi kuno ug sulti ug maot mahitungod sa mga itom diba miserable imong kinabuhi. Sila ang kinadaghanan ug benepisyo diri sa US pero sila sad ang naa sa kina-usban sa mga pobre. Lupigon pa ang mga migrante.

Mas bilib pa gani ko sa mga tnt ug mga mexicano nga motabok diri kay mangingkamot ug trabaho. Kasagaran ani nilang grupoha, wala...inum, gang, krimen. Kung numerohay lang, hapit-hapit na baya ta mo-apas nila sa population. Pero according to CNN, 50% of all homicides and murders, sila naga buhat.

Sa ako sad nga trabaho, kung makakita gani ka ug neighborhood nga daghan na sila namuyo, high crime area sad.

Naay daghan sad nila nga maayo, pero ang mga maayo ug gawi, ang mga naay trabaho ug naningkamot, wala gapalibre.


Buot jud nakong ipahinumdum nga ang mga taw nga naningkamot, mawad-an ba ug trabaho o naa ba, dili man gyud mapasagdan. Kung masakit ka ug wala kay trabaho, naa may bridge insurance. Kun tarong ka nga taw, pwede man ka mangutang para ibayad nimo ug naa say daghang mopautang ug mo finance nimo. Dili ka kinahanglan ug HC.

Ang HC, arang alkanseha sa mga nagkayod. mao lagi, naa gihapon ta ug grasyang nadawat, pero kung kwentahon nimo ang nawala nimo nga kwarta, igo na biya sad na ipamiliti nimo pauli ug tanda sa ato.

Kung ako lang, mas gaan pa akong buot nga kanang ilang kuhaon sa akong sweldo para sa HC, ako nalang na igasto sa akong mga i-agaw sa ato nga naningkamot intawn para maka skwela ug mabuhi. Naa pay pulos, wala pa nasayang. Makibaw pa ka nga gigasto ug tarong ug naay maayo nga produkto.

sa HC/Obamacare, tabla ra ka galabay sa imong kwarta. Dli na na nimo makit-an. Kung ikaw sad masakit, hilabi na ug dili ka uyamot, dugay sad nimong hinulat. Dili man ka maka complain ug racist kung unya-unyaon ka, pero huna-hunaa bya ang uban nga dili gani mahatagan sa ilang gusto, racist dayun. Bisan unsay lihok, racist diri, racist didto makabwisit. Bisan nangawat sa negosyo, nasakpan ug gipahawa, ang tag-iya pay gikasuhan kay racist kuno bisan nangawat ang amaw.


hahay, mini novela napud... :-)

Ma'am Hof, I think it works in other countries better than others. If I'm not mistaken, I remember you're in Germany. One of my Aunts is in Switzerland and I think they also have HC. I think we also have to consider the attitude of the people. You don't hear a lot of stories of people taking advantage of the system over there. Tanan nakong nakaila who have lived there are hard workers.


Maybe biased lang ko because I've never been to either Germany or Switzerland but from what I can see, it can work there because there is not too much entitlement and there is not a hue population of people who expect others to take care of them. They have a healthy sense of self worth and self respect.

Not so much in the US. Nonsense lawsuits, entitlement attitude, something for nothing..all of those late night infomercials reflect a lot of the attitudes, bottomline getting something for nothing and expect other people to work for you while you do nothing. (Russ Dalby Cashflow business, Russ Whitney, etc )

Maybe the concept of Obamacare might have a chance if they deliberated on it some more. Changed what really needed to be changed (tort reform) and not messed with the ones that doesn't need messing with.

Sometimes, I think that if its too logical or if it is common sense, chances are politicians will come and muddle it all up. I think at the end of the day, our president just wanted to push his agenda, mistake and all, regardless if its the right thing to do just so he can appease whatever special interest group that put him in power.

I agree that our healthcare here need reform too, but for right now, its unarguably one of the best in the world. Politicians should be extremely careful in changing it.

I think the President truly believes and is passionate about his little project. But based on other things, I don't think he truly thought this one out specially the part about ramming it down everyone's throat regardless if they want it or not. It is still a democracy and there are a lot of protests against it here for a reason. He should have listened to his people. After all, he is there to serve the people... (and ideally not the  ones who gave money to his campaign)  :-)

Manay,

I apologize if I am not gifted enough to be concise for you. I do try to explain my point as best as I can, even citing examples of why I have reached this conclusions. If you want, i can break it down numerically.

1.) Canadians may have HC and have already paid for it, but they are still crossing the border to the US so they can be treated without waiting periods.

2.) Higher taxes = higher expenses = lower profits for businesses = higher barrier to expansion and growth = lay-offs = unemployment = BAD BAD BAD BAD (rise in crime, depression, less people that can be taxed, less money in the government pocket, bigger deficit, cutting budget of government programs like NASA, so on and so forth )

3.) Higher taxes = higher expenses = lower spendable income for most families = recreational and leisure industries will suffer = bad business = lay offs = unemployment (see above)

4.) Higher taxes = higher expenses = lower net income for the average filipino family = less $$$ coming into the Philippines = less cousins going to school = less $$ for the sick tatay and nanay


OR

5.) Higher taxes = higher expenses = lower net income for the average filipino breadwinner = filipino breadwinner will have to work double and triple shifts  = filipino breadwinner drops dead of exhaustion and fatigue  = everyone he/she is supporting in the Philippines will suffer.

6.) Obamacare will take care of those who don't have insurance...penalize those who can afford to but chose not to. Will provide insurance for those who can't afford to. Where's the personal choice and responsibility in this equation ?

7.) Main beneficiaries of Obamacare = dregs of society. Why punish the hardworking and upright population to reward the lazy, the indifferent, the irresponsible and the criminals ?

8.) Obamacare will give the government power over who will live or die. To evaluate whether you are worth saving or not. Heaven forbid I should be 80 and still want to live because my life is worth less than if I was 40 and wanted to die.

9.) Personal Choice. Personal Choice. Personal Choice. Personal Responsibility. Democracy. Right to chose. Right to privacy. Any of this ring a bell ?

10.) Obama, Pulosi and their little gang rammed this down everyone's throat without due diligence. They did not listen to protests, their town hall meetings reflected how most of them didn't even read the 900 page bill. They had made claims about what it could and couldn't do and then got disproved. Makes you think, if they tell us false information about little things, what are the big things they are hiding ?



I hope this is concise enough for you and hopefully the substance is there.


Here's to getting an A+

ang mga batan-on na usab nagtubos nila thru paying their HC or taxes.

Anindot unta kung ingana ang mahitabo diri sa US kung dili nila ma repeal ang law unya magpadayun. :-)

pero sa karon, dako na kaayo ang deficit, naabot na gud kuno sa Trillions...(kapunay mahisgutan sa news magabii)

meaning, inig abot namo sa pagka gurang, kung  grasyahan man nga paabton, wala nay nabilin wawarts para igasto nila namo bisan ug nagabayad pami.

Deficit upon deficit. We will be spending what this nation does not have; loaning and loaning.

Do not spend what you do not have.

Ging, you are very well-informed. The Bill was actually more than 900 pages after it was distributed. It ended up more than 2000 pages. I doubt those who passed this bill read it.

Easy for th epoliticians to do to pass laws, but now it is the job of us, the medical profesisonals to uphold and honor this law. And we are lacking in numbers. As we speak we are in need over 200,000 nurses, and are in need of over 20,000+ physicians.

It takes 12+ years to produce a doctor. (4 years college + 4 years medical school + 4-5 years of residency training)

Obama will be out of office by 2 years and if reelected will be in office for another 4 years. Even after this, the problem will still stand considering how it takes 12+ years to train a physician. He should start by building more medical schools, increase residency capacities and allow importation of foreign medical graduates into the United States, thereby solving the medical situation.

Again, transparency, transparency. Let us see how things play.
